<p>&quot;Don&#39;t count the Freedom Party out yet though: according to oppinion polls, Freedom party could become Austria&rsquo;s largest political party after parliamentary elections due by September 2018 but expected to be called early. That could see the party&rsquo;s leader Heinz-Christian Strache becoming the country&rsquo;s next chancellor.&quot;</p>

</div>
</div>
<p>&quot;In June 2015 we reported on the re-emerging field of using psychedelics to treat mental illness, with psilocybin, in particular, showing great promise for chronic anxiety and depression. Western medicine began realizing its potential in the 1940s, but medical research was stamped out with the War on Drugs.&nbsp;Now, as the injustice of the drug war is fully exposed, research is again turning to the amazing, natural power of psilocybin. William Richards at Johns Hopkins University has been dosing people with psilocybin for 15 years, and in 2006 published his first study demonstrating positive therapeutic results.&quot;</p>

</div>
</div>
<p>&quot;The results of the first ever study comparing the health of vaccinated children vs. unvaccinated children are out, and they are already causing controversy. For many &ndash; hundreds of thousands of families that have already been injured by vaccines &ndash; the results won&rsquo;t be surprising, but to many others, the findings might be a little shocking. This is possibly why the scientific journal which originally published the results withdrew the study from publication.&quot;<br />

<p>I believe that until Democrats and Progressives can grasp their lack of diversity intuitively, they will struggle to make their way forward in the new political climate of the United States. They will not understand how anyone could view them as divisive, since they automatically think of diversity as being on their side, rather than something they oppose.</p>

<p>&quot;Last summer, it was leaked that Soros attempted to destabllize Russia and depose Putin in 2012. Putin responded by banning Soros and all of his organizations from Russia. In 2014, Putin issued an international arrest warrant for Soros.&nbsp;We could certainly improve both international relationships and our current situation by extraditing Soros immediately.&quot;</p>

</div>
</div>
<p>&quot;On October 30, the French government announced, as quietly as possible, the creation of a massive new database that will collect and store personal information and biometric data on nearly everyone living in the country. As tends to happen whenever a government seeks to enact this type of &#39;reforms,&#39; the law wasn&rsquo;t passed by parliament but by decree on the eve of a national holiday.&nbsp;As France 24 reports, the new decree will affect 60 million people and &#39;marks the first time the country has collected population data on such a scale since the start of the Nazi Occupation in 1940.&#39;&rdquo;</p>

</div>
<p>&ldquo;[We] should judge democracy by its results, not by what it supposedly expresses. Suppose, hypothetically, that an alternative system turns out to do a better job protecting minorities&rsquo; civil and economic rights than democracy. In that case, advocating democracy for what it expresses would be perverse&mdash;akin to insisting we outlaw vaccines in order to express concern for human health.&rdquo;<br />
